The Vatican on Thursday released the
calendar of liturgical celebrations of the Holy Week and Octave
of Easter, from Palm Sunday on April 13 until April 27, the day
of the canonization of the Blessed Carlo Acutis, including
Easter Sunday on April 20.
At the moment, the presence of the pope is not on the agenda,
nor the name of other celebrants.
The Pontiff, 88, left hospital Sunday after 38 days fighting
pneumonia and faces a convalescence of at least two months.
Acutis, a student from Lombardy who died from leukaemia at the
age of 15 in 2006 and became a model of Christian life for many
young believers as well as a sort of 'patron saint of the
internet', will be canonised during the Roman Catholic Jubilee
on April 27 after being beatified on 10 October 2020 in Assisi.
